It seems redundant to review the collection on a game by game basis. If you like platform games at all (even if you're still a bitter Mario fan, even after the dust settled and Sonic moved into the same Nintendo shaped flat) you'll find something to love in this collection. My personal favorite is probably Sonic 3, though there is something to be said for at least Sonic 2 and Sonic & Knuckles, with both the MD and GG versions of Sonic 1 must plays, though they feel a bit clunky and not nearly as fast as later titles. A special mention goes to Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (a re-branded version of the original Puyo Puyo),a fun puzzle game that adds some worthwhile variety to the package.It was almost depressing swapping my original Mega Drive cartridges for Sonic Mega Collection Plus, but thankfully it's a solid package with perfectly faithful conversions of all the original Mega Drive titles. At times though, the conversion has been TOO faithful, containing all of the frame-juddering and glitches in the original cartridge versions. Whilst there is a certain nostalgia in playing the original slideshow versions of Sonic 2 Zones found in that game's 2 Player Mode, you wouldn't hear me complaining if the Playstation 2 gave the emulator just a fraction more power than the Mega Drive actually had to iron out the creases in Sonic's well worn shirt-Tails.Aside from this collection's over-faithfulness, there are two further things that irritate me. The first is the complete lack of interaction between the emulator that runs the games, and the menu system that allows access to them. This wouldn't be a problem if there weren't 7 unlockable games, but as there are, it's annoying to find these games unlockable not by achieving something in a given game (collecting emeralds, or completing the game), but by simply opening and closing each game several times. This leads to marathon 'start and quit' sessions just to get your value for money.My other disappointment is with the Game Gear titles, which seem an after-thought. All bar "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Sonic Chaos" are uninspired games supposedly kicking around for the sake of completeness, yet "Sonic 2" and "Sonic Triple Trouble" are shunted onto the Gems Collection, despite being genuinely interesting games. And then there's the matter of why the developers chose to go use the Game Gear versions of these games, when for a number of them, Master System versions - with less slow down and a superior screen-size - were available.That said, in conjunction with Sonic Gems Collection, you can be guaranteed to have not missed a Sonic game worth playing if you own this collection.

Sonic Mega Collection is just what it says on the tin a collection of all sonics 2D adventures on SEGA's Megadrive (or genesis if you want)from the 90's and it doesn't fail to bring floods of nostalgia to you as you soon as you hear the Sonic: The Hedgehog title music.On this single disc you have all your favourite blue hedgehogs misadventures to defeat the evil Dr. Ivo Robotnic(or eggman)these include:Sonic the hedgehogSonic 2Sonic 3Sonic & KnucklesSonic 3 & Knuckles (has to be unlocked)Knuckles in Sonic 2 (has to be unlocked)Blue Sphere (has to be unlocked)Sonic SpinballAll these games are ported perfectly from the Megadrive to the PS2 with all the art, characters, music,codes and special stages found on the originals. My favorite game has got to be Sonic 3 & Knuckles because of all the bonus content and Super and HYPER forms that be acquired for each character.Overall this is perfect for any old school gamer to relive those good ol'days but it is also great, simple 2D platforming for next generation gamers. I guarantee you will be constantly replaying levels and won't be able to get the great music out of your head as you hum along to it.Graphics: 10/10 (for the time)Music: 9/10 (mostly great but some is annoying at times)Game play: 9/10 (very easy controls can be mastered in no time)Replayability: 10/10 ( I still can't stop playing :P)Only problem is theres no Sonic CD or Knuckles Chaotix but they are available on the Sonic Gems Collection however :D

Back in 1991, a new character came out, made by Sega's Hirokazu Yasuhara - Sonic was a very fast hedgehog poised to take Mario's world - the most loved character from a computer game. He's your typical manga type hero, trying to save the earth, and the animals from the evil Doctor, who wants to get rid of Sonic and his friends.Fast forward 18 or so years, and here Sony and Sega have made a collection of all his games, Sonic, Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 all here in tact, though I did notice a little bit of music remix and different sound effects especially when the rings are counted at the end of the level. But everything is well done, the control system is smooth like the MegaDrive,you could easily mistake the PS2 for a MegaDrive after a few hours playing Sonic.Not only is Sonic here, but so is Knuckles, Tales and his other mates. Some fine games include Sonic 3D, where it looks a bit like QBert but 90s, the excellent and well liked (by me anyway) Sonic Spinball, a pinball spoof where you have to destroy everyone's favourite enemy Dr Robonotic - and all the Game Gear editions of the games. There really is everything here, strategy, puzzle, adventure, you will love it if you like Sonic, and younger users will love it as much as my generation did on the Sega consoles which sadly, got placed out of the market.This is a fine series, and well worth getting, good value for money and has at least a few months worth of fun in them.

I have been going through a bit of a nostalgia trip recently and remembering the games of my youth is perhaps one of the most fun things to do. I have tried the PC version of this game which did not work, however this version runs brilliantly on the PS2. The three most obvious games anyone will be going for is Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic and Knuckles. A fabulous addition is the ability to save the level that you have reached which was something that previously couldn't be done on the Megadrive version.However, I was dissapointed that a certain version of Sonic and Knuckles wasn't included.There did used to be the option to play an extended version of Sonic The Hedgehog 3 when you combined Sonic & Knuckles with Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which also included the option to play the levels as Knuckles. It is a pity this was not included and is my single reason for not giving the game a full five stars. Otherwise though, fabulous gaming.

As for still owning a Playstation 2 (as I still have most of my favourite games), I picked this up for cheep to my collection and I must say that it features most of the major sonic games including Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic and Knucles, Sonic Spinball, Sonic CD (which I quite like). I am not too much of a sonic fan, however my brother is and he plays it the most on his Playstation 2. The only thing that I am not to kean on is that ingame saving support where it saves the game between levels (like in the XBOX Live/PSN port of Sonic CD) isn't included with this and you only really have the option for save-states, however back in the early 2000's this is good.The only thing I wasn't too happy with was that when I recieved the disc, it had dirty marks/scratches, so it needed cleaning (sold used here only, for now anyway). Otherwise, I would say overall 4/5.

I remember purchasing Sonic Mega Collection Plus for the PS2 from a GAME store for about £30. That was back in early 2005...the best part of a decade ago...WHERE has the time gone?! I mean it seems like only yesterday that I handed over the Queen's faces to one of the staff members so I could play this retro collection, and now the PS2 disc itself is retro. Scary!It may seem pointless to some now considering the numerous Sonic retro collections available for purchase (both hardware and software), not to mention that his better outings can be found as part of the

As an avid Sonic fan and fairly new member in the Sonic fandom, I purchased this game in the hopes that I could see what the older (generally called "old-school") games were like. Although this game is missing a few games, it still contains a good amount of the different games to keep you entertained.However, some games are missing. If you notice a game you liked that isn't on this game, chances are it's on Sonic Gems Collection.If you miss your old Megadrive or Game Gear and the old Sonic games, this is an excellent buy. You won't regret it!

I had Sonic 1,2 & 3 on Sega Mega Drive when I was a kid [the 90's] and this game collection is simply fantastic. It took me right back to the old days of primitive but easy to handle controls. Anyone who remembers Sonic will not be at all disappointed because the games are untouched, they've simply been ported to a more recent console. They've also managed to shove the successors to 1,2,& 3 which can be unlocked after working your way through each game. There is even a menu allowing access to each original game manual.Nostalgic.Fantastic.

Amazing game, I also have all the Sonics on Sega Mega Drive. One of the best bits of this game compared to the Sega is that you can save at any point within the game. Guaranteed hours of play to complete all the games. And its good that they kept knuckles aswell, and Dr. Robotnik isn't Dr.Egg like in the cartoon series. If you remember playing Sonic when the characters where Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik then this is for you ! MUST BUY FOR SONIC FANS.

As a past player of Sonic on the Megadrive I was a little sceptical about buying this product for the Playstation but I have not been disappointed. This version has the added bonus of being able to save at any point, one of the huge downfalls of the Megadrive. All of the usual characters and game play. Guaranteed hours of fun for all the family.Buy it now!

my boys aged 4 and 8 love Sonic. Sonic is just everywhere. On their t-shirts, trousers, bedsheets. Then this Sonic game came right on their birthday which was a bis Success. Worth the money. Not too expensive for a 4 years old birthday present but still the excitement was huge. A must have.

Bought this present for someone who's recently acquired a PS2 and is a fan of the old Sega games. They were delighted with the gift and were amazed that it was available. The seller delivered this item days before the estimated delivery date which is why this gets five stars.

this is one of my best games.i love this game as it has several stages and it gets harder as you progress through the stages but it is worth it.it is a very challenging game,you need to use your wit against your opponents in order to defeat them.an excellent game.

This is a very good game and i am, pleased to have purchased this. The reason for this game being good is because you can play all the retro sonic games from the mega drive.
